After a very, very long time I have finally bothered to fix a bug that had made the last two levels of Haley Heartbeat unplayable (thank you to PixelMetalWolf for the bug report, even if it took me a long time to act on it!)
Besides that, I decided to try to make the rhythm gameplay a bit more engaging and fun, by simply making it much easier. Now, missing a single beat is no longer punished by ending your "combo." Instead, every single time you shoot on-beat, your bullet is upgraded to the next highest level (or reset after 4 shots). This means if you regularly try to shoot on-beat, you will be able to clear the game more efficiently than if you just hold down the shoot button -- but you won't feel punished by failing to hit some shots on-beat.
